Toni Basil "Oh Mickey"

Looking for "Suspense" and "I Don't Hear You"

Thanks!

Wow I posted this request just as a shot in the dark! That CD is hard to find (at a reasonable price) so I REALLY appreciate the share! Those are the only 2 songs from the "Toni Basil" album that aren't on any other CD - so now I can finally assemble the entire "Toni Basil" album, which is one of my favorite guilty pleasures from the 80's hehehe.

From what I've read and HEARD (short samples on the allmusic.com site) most of the tracks on that 2CD release were mastered at the wrong speed - much slower than they should be?? And yet "Suspense" and "I Don't Hear You" are the correct speeds. They must have been transferred from the master tapes at a different time than all the others? I wanted to buy the CD years ago just for these two tracks, but I was afraid they would be vinyl transfers, like any of the CD's that include "Shoppin' From A To Z" or "Rock On". I will probably tweak the EQ on them, as they are extremely BASS heavy. I just messed with it a little bit and once that booming low end is wrangled under control they actually sound quite amazing, so I'm very excited! Thanks again!

Really glad to help you, Fred! Funny, "Toni Basil" is my preferred album by the lady, too - much more concise and overall sounds like an album rather than a bunch of tracks like the first one. Such a pity she's just a one-hit wonder in pop...
